RetroCell - I turned a 70's rotary phone into a mobile cellular phone

Straight outa the 70's, this rotary phone has a modern twist. Sporting USB charging, up to 1 week standby without needing a charge, last number redial, call back, and programmable through SMS messaging (request signal strength, battery level, low battery alerts, add contacts and more). People think you are nuts when you walk into an establishment with this phone around your arm... Until it rings! More info at www.retrocell.net The story: When I was listening to my dad rant about how much he hates cell phones because they are too small and too painful to use. I told him he needs a 70's phone with new skool cell phone guts inside.. So I set out to build my own. First thing, I had to get the bell ringer to ring. It all snowballed from there. After finishing it and taking it out on the town, To my surprise (after the patrons initially thought I was some nut job with an old phone in my arms), it became a huge hit. Next thing you know, everyone was passing the thing around the bars and restaurants while I sat and watched in amazement. The next day, the one thing that was bothering me was that you had to remember peoples phone numbers in order to place a call. Who remembers numbers anymore. Then it hit me that I could use the letters on the dial to place calls by name. But how do I make a UI for it without altering the phone itself. Texting! so now you can text names and numbers into it and it saves them as contacts. I then added several other commands that you could send to the phone by way of SMS.
